Why should craigslist not have there web site up. There is a news paper in phoenix call phoenix new times and they show nudity in the chest area. There its free to everyone. Look up shit on line like paradisenudes.com and it will take you to differant websites that will show the same thing. Parents should watch there kids. I know that I watch mine and if they are going to look up that crap then they will do it no matter what. Look in your local news paper and it will have the same adds call them and they will tell you a web-site to look at for their pics or email they will email pics you. You are going to get it no matter what. YOU should teach your kids from right and wrong. Don't expect other people to raise your kids that just shows your a very lazy person and you really don't care for you children. One last thing YOU CAN BLOCK WEBSITES FROM YOUR CHILDREN!!!!!

Think about it

That's what you get when you give FREE space to advertisers.

It should never be free, free means no restrictions. A nominal sum should at least be collected so the advertiser themselves will think twice before forking out that money to post something dumb.

A new site I found at PIREF.COM, clean & neat, paying sure...but clean.

This is bogus. Nothing spells out anything to do with children on Craigslist.

I don't think Craigslist should be subject to complete removal of the ads, but I do think since they are a large online classified service that they should do more for age verification, such as non-charged credit card verification instead of allowing the visitor to agree to the terms, thus giving anyone access.

Just under 17 million people visit craiglist per month and not all of them are looking to sell furniture that's for sure. The amount of people looking for sexual encounters on the service is sickening. It would be nice if Craigslist rid the site of such postings, but then again this is the internet and according to statistics the casual encounters section is a high trafficked section of the site. This is just one more reason to supervise your children while they are on the internet and hopefully Craiglist will address some of the issues.

How about Googleâ€™s "classifieds" Base? A search for 'sex' on Googleâ€™s "classifieds" personal base pulls up several results as well.

They basically run an online escrot service - the site needs to be shutdown and the owners put in jail for allowing this.

the site does not offend me but if it offends others it mainly has to do with their children and in which they should watch their children
